Early last year, Manny Pacquiao signed with Paradigm Sports, the longtime management firm of Conor McGregor. Since then, rumors have circulated that McGregor was going to return to boxing to take on the boxing legend, and another boxing great thinks it’s a great idea.
George Foreman is a former Olympic gold medalist, two-time lineal heavyweight champion, and a member of the International Boxing Hall of Fame. Though he is best known for his “George Foreman Grill,” and losing to Muhammad Ali in “The Rumble in the Jungle,” Foreman had a storied career in boxing and later went on to serve as an analyst on HBO’s boxing coverage team for over a decade. So given his deep well of experience in the sport, it’s safe to say that Foreman knows a thing or two about boxing, and recently, “Big George” suggested that McGregor make the move to the squared circle permanently.

We come to you bearing excellent news. Even though it is still freezing outside, and the pandemic is still happening, the baseball season is close. If you were to put together a weekly preview of each MLB division and finish by the time the season begins presuming you give yourself an extra week for playoff predictions, of course! you d have to start this week. You can actually start counting down the weeks.
Thus, today, our weekly series previewing each of baseball s six divisions begins with the American League East. Our previews will look at four pressing questions for each club heading into the 2021 season. At the end, we ll make some actual predictions on the final standings predictions that are unassailable and so obviously ironclad that we re a little worried you won t even bother to watch the actual games once we read them. We are willing to assume such a risk.
The Great Migration In Reverse
In the early 1990s, I often took a cheap Southwest Airlines flight from my native Dayton, Ohio to Chicago in search of down-home blues venues like Lee’s Unleaded and Rosa’s. Then, in 1995, my advertising career moved me to St. Louis. A year later, I was sitting in Junior’s Place a rural juke joint in Chulahoma, Mississippi, a.k.a. the middle of nowhere. And my life was changed.
Old bluesmen, young bluesmen. Folk art on the walls, moonshine in plastic jugs. And a local African American audience bursting from an ancient structure clearly built without the aid of an architect. That was Junior’s (which burned down in 2000).
